I was told that the wider tires make the bike harder to handle, balance. Is that true? And boy you must have long legs from the looks of those pegs.
False, I think the bike has improved handling and as for balance the bike fells like it's on a rail, as for the forward controls yeah anybody under six feet would have a hard time trying to ride it.

Nice looking customized Sporty !. I'd love to test-ride that bike, but it'll kill my back on long rides. Have a mild custom Sporty 240 myself. Handles real nice and not that difficult with the rear wide tire kit when turning left or right. Sporty's never too small for anybody, Period !. Again, Nice and Awesome !!!.

I would have to say it rides better, but I might be partial being that it's my bike and all.
